We have noticed that the firmware 2.0 for the Force series drives has solved a vast majority of the outstanding issues that existed prior to firmware 2.0. However, some users are still having issues so we need to collect some information. We request that ONLY users that have firmware 2.0 and still have issues post in this thread and fill out the information requested below.

All other posts and discussions will be deleted as we need to keep the thread clean and the posts to a minimum so that we can quickly collect information to send to SandForce. This thread is not for troubleshooting or discussions. Thanks for understanding.

Please list your COMPLETE system specifications in the post (not just the dropdown menu) and include BIOS versions, OS, controller drivers, and any relevent hardware information such as MOBO revisions, etc. You can use the template for the dropdown menu for your system specifications as a guide for what information to include. If you have a manufacturer's link to your laptop or motherboard, post it here. Then, after your specifications are listed, please describe what issues you have, when they occur, steps you've taken to solve them, etc.

Please make only 1 post in this thread per person. If you need to add information later or if you have an update, please edit your original post. Do not reply farther down the thread as this will separate your information and spread it out to the point that it is not usable for us.

Post #4 and post #7 below are great examples of the type of detail that we need and are good formats to use when posting.
Thanks! ::pirate::

Problem(s): Connecting the SSD Drive to the motherboard causes it to freeze for about 30 seconds immediately after power is switched on. During this time the screen is blank except for a cursor on the left of the screen. This happens with every BIOS version on the board from intel right from the latest 5531 which I use all the way down to 3822. After this freeze the BIOS splash appears and system proceeds to boot normally. Any subsequent reboots do not have this delay, as long as power is not turned off. If power is turned off and on then the delay returns again.
Hope you are able to resolve this issue soon.
Thank you.

Issue when resuming from hybrid sleep. There are no problems with normal sleep mode or hibernate. There is somewhat weird issue: when hybrid sleep fails to wake up with power connected (battery/adapter) I have to do hard shutdown (or re-plug battery) and start cold boot, cold boot from failed hybrid sleep takes less time than cold boot from hibernation (around 3-4 seconds less).

Symptoms:
1) Wake up fails in hybrid sleep when there is no power failure. (with less than 5minutes sleep time) (rare with driver version 9.5.6.1001)
2) Wake up fails in hybrid sleep when there is no power failure. (with more than 5minutes sleep time) (everytime with driver version 9.5.6.1001)
3) Computer wakes up from hybrid sleep, after entering the password, welcome text comes up and computer freezes (hardware freeze, even caps lock is not working) (everytime with driver version 9.6.0.1014,10.0.0.1046 and standard drivers)

After upgrading to firmware 2.0:
- MS AHCI 1.0 standard driver (6.1.7600.16385)
- MS AHCI 1.0 w/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977178 (6.1.7600.20621) - same symptoms but takes longer on the spinning "Welcome" screen before freezing; I suspect the hotfix just extended the timeout from 10s -> 30s.
- Intel AHCI 10.0.0.1046 - [edit: resuming from hibernate seems to work 50% of the time with this driver, but resuming from sleep is still a problem every time]

This is a clean install of Windows 7 64bit after getting the F160.
Symptoms are the same in all configurations.

Symptom:
The F120 is not immediately recognized by Intel Matrix Storage Option ROM after cold start. It takes about one minute for the Option ROM to detect the SSD. So on every start up I have to press "Pause" during POST before drive detection, wait a minute and then go on. This problem was new with firmware version 1.1 and was not seen with 1.0

Symptom:
BSOD upon resuming from sleep: sometimes it the system freezes on an all black screen from Media center and I have to hold the power button to shutdown. Other times, I get a true bluescreen upon resuming. I have tried at least 10 clean OS installs WIN7 x64 using F6 AHCI Intel driver installation, default windows drivers, installing drivers after OS installation. I tried the F40 in a single drive AHCI and IDE config as well as a Raid config.
